As expected, UW's Gard in running for UWGB job

UW associate head coach Greg Gard is among five finalists for the head coaching position at UW-Green Bay.

UWGB officials announced the finalists earlier Thursday.

Gard is set to interview with UWGB athletic director Ken Bothof on Friday in Green Bay.

"I am extremely pleased with the quality and depth of the candidates who applied to be our head men's basketball coach," Bothof said in a UWGB release. "The quality of our finalists, who are both terrific people as well as very talented basketball coaches, certainly indicates how appealing this job is."
